21.1. Any failure to enforce, or delay in enforcing, any provision of this Agreement by either Party will not be construed to be a waiver of any breach of such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any breach of a provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving Party. The waiver of a breach of a provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.
21.2. The captions and headings used in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
21.3. Should any provision of this Agreement, or any provision incorporated in this Agreement in the future, be or become invalid or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be substituted by a suitable and equitable provision which, to the extent legally permissible, comes as close as possible to the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision. The same shall apply: (i) if the Parties have, unintentionally, failed to address a certain matter in this Agreement; in this case a suitable and equitable provision shall be deemed to have been agreed upon which comes as close as possible to what the parties, in the light of the intent and purpose of this Agreement, would have agreed upon if they had considered the matter; or (ii) if any provision of this Agreement is invalid because of the scope of any time period or performance stipulated herein; in this case a legally permissible time period or performance shall be deemed to have been agreed which comes as close as possible to the stipulated time period or performance.
This Agreement and the relationship between the Parties shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with German law. The UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply. Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Hamburg, Germany.
